How to restrict CN1 app from running on Android Studio emulator

Question

Due to app security concern I need to restrict a certain app from being able to run on emulator. How can CN1 android build app be restricted from running on emulators like Android studio and Genymotion emulators?

Answer 1

This seemed like something easy to make so I added it in a PR here. It should be available in next weeks update and would work using code like this in your start method:

if(getProperty("Emulator", "false").equals("true")) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Emulator not supported");
}

I based this change on this and this update.

Answer 2

Since emulators are rooted by default, adding rooted device check at the start() or runApp() functions of the app is also a great solution.

public void start() {

  if (JailbreakDetect.isJailbreakDetectionSupported()) {

    if (JailbreakDetect.isJailbroken()) {
        Log.p("Device is rooted, killing the app...");
        Display.getInstance().exitApplication();

    } else {
      //proceed
    }
  } else {
      Log.p("Rooted device check unsupported");
      Display.getInstance().exitApplication();
  }
}

This is working perfectly in online emulators like Appetize.io and Genymotion Cloud
